Colts @ Raiders Game Day Thread

Hi, Colts Nation!   :default_20smile:  I felt our Indianapolis Colts played their best game so far this season, defeating the Buffalo Bills 37-5 last week which is their largest margin of victory, which I admittedly did not expect prior to that game last Sunday, and their first win since their Week 2 win over the Redskins.

 

Our 2-5 Colts also have an opportunity to win two games in a row for the first time in their 2018 NFL season, as they travel and appear in their only regular season West Coast game, and their farthest road game in mileage this year (1,942 miles), as the Colts are in the California East Bay to play the 1-5 Oakland Raiders.

 

Today's game for the record should be the first home game where the baseball infield is finally covered with grass turf to make the playing field and color more even and level.

 

Oakland been reportedly  in a disarray  of sorts this season, including their questioning and inconsistencies of play calling, player substitutions, and time management, those factors likely contributing to their current 1-5 record.  Though their travel is not directly relevent to their internal player issues, as in playing games in L.A and London before their bye week last Sunday, the Raiders questioned quarterback David Carr's leadership and commitment to the Raiders, and his relationship to Head Coach Jon Gruden.

 

Gruden himself is not validating himself leading the Raiders into a resurgenge to their 'Commitment To Excellence' since signing his annual $10 million per year contract.  Raiders also traded both Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears before the start of the regular season, and last week traded their top receiver, Amari Cooper, to the Dallas Cowboys.

 

Colts seek to win to regular season games for the first time in 2018, since winning their last two games in the 2015 regular season,  after Andrew Luck suffered lacerated kidney and partially torn abdominal muscle prior that year.

 

Mostly cloudy skies at 65 degrees is the game forecast inside the Oakland-Alameda Coliseum for the 4:05PM Eastern Standard Time kickoff, along with 5% precipitation, 79% humidity, and western winds at 10 miles per hour.

 

NO injuries, try to win two games in a row over the lowly Raiders, and GO COLTS!!!!!

    • Food for thought… Once again, you continue to be your own worst enemy.     The Colts overall TE room is loaded with young players most of whom have had very little playing time for a variety of reasons.   So if you want to say the room might not be ranked high, that’s fair.    But you don’t say that.  You call them “trash”.  Why you feel that’s appropriate is a mystery.   Whenever you try the internet tough guy approach it typically blows up on you.     No one is trash.     You ignore the last three years and the QB and HC carousel the Colts have dealt with.  All of which has impacted the Colts weapons, especially the TE’s.   Ballard has publicly talked about how promising he thinks his TE room might be.   Woods, Granson, Ogletree, Mallory and MAC.    Only MAC is questionable and that’s because the salary hasn’t matched expectations.  But the first four?   All are promising.   They’re just young and looking for opportunity.  But they are NOT trash.     There’s a difference.     
    • Some of the coaches?   That sounds plural to me.   To the best of my knowledge the focus in this community has only been on one coach who may not be maximizing the players the Colts have.   And that’s the defensive coordinator.  He’s been a hot topic of conversation.  But I’m not aware of any other coach being viewed in a negative light. 
    • Insane that this has been going on since 2015. From what I gather it’s due to the NFL making Sunday Ticket too expensive on purpose so only a select amount of people can purchase it, forcing most to use CBS and Fox. 
    • Many are calling the Pacers pick of Furphy as a huge draft steal. Most projections had him in the top 20 of the 1st round, and even a few felt he could be as early as top 5!    That young man could be a huge contributor for the team next year. 
    • Diana Taurasi has been trashing on Clark and Indiana since April. And today the Fever finally had a chance to shut her mouth up. Fever win over the Mercury 88-82.
